My name is Leigh Karchner, d/b/a Southern Charm Photography. I have been a wildlife photographer my entire adult life. As a child, a great uncle encouraged me to explore my world around me, capture the beauty and share my life experiences with those around me. Found here are a few examples of the beauty I enjoy and share.

I also dabble in paint and multi-media. Many of my images and art here are from reference photos at or near my homes in Florida and Wyoming. Prints are available for both art and photography. Please email for pricing and sizes.

I also dabble in paint and multi-media. My husband, Dennis Karchner, is a fine western artist and a wonderful instructor. Many of my photos are taken in studio for his western portrait paintings. He is also the portrait artist for the NFL football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. His work can be viewed at KARCHNER WESTERN ART.

Well, I’ve been here 3 months now and I have to say everyone here has been just wonderful. It’s nice to share art, discuss it, sell it and participate where members have respect for one another and the site management doesn’t allow some of the negative stuff to go on like the last site I was a member at……. we won’t go there. Thanks for all the great support!

I’m new here but very much look forward to getting to know everyone. My hope is that you find something interesting and moving in my work. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or would just like to say hello.
